Who the hell is Bill Kraus and why does NPR keep calling him a conservative?

A few weeks ago I sat to the right of Bill Kraus at Wispolitics’ first Blogger Summit.

A position that proved prophetic, best cialis try because I’m definitely to the right of this guy.

Hell, I think Hillary Clinton might be to the right of him.

I don’t know Bill.

All I can judge him by is his statements and stances from his many appearances as the “conservative” side on Joy Cardin’s Week in Review on Friday mornings on Wisconsin Public Radio.

90% of the time he seems in lockstep with whatever nutcase progressive they manage to dig up from the bowels of Madison to represent the left.

My suggestion to Joy is to invite Owen from Boots & Sabers back.

He did a crackerjack job the one time I heard him on the same program.

And I think I might be at least a little to the left of him.

That would make for a nice change.

Back-alley abortion scare stories are back.

In a transparent effort to jumpstart the back-alley abortion scare mongering, viagra canada sildenafil the New York Times sent a reporter to El Savador to do a story highlighting how horrible life is in a country where abortion is illegal.

The goal of this story is to promote unfettered access to abortion. So the writer never bothers to point out that unwanted pregnancies could be resolved through adoption. Or avoided all together by not indulging in sex when you don’t want a child.

It’s so much simpler to advocate irresponsibility and infanticide.

What’s wrong with CNN’s headline writers?

The headline on CNN’s story about the disastrously high high school dropout rate is:

What’s wrong with America’s high schools?

Don’t you think we might get closer to finding an answer to the problem if the question had been:

What’s wrong with American’s high school students?

What does the suffering of the mentally ill have to do with the pro-life movement?

Yesterday, tadalafil search WUWM aired the most unbalanced, viagra canada irrelevant, irrational tripe I’ve ever heard on a public radio station.

(It took me a whole day to cool off enough to write this without resorting exclusively to four-letter words.)

A “commentator” named Tom Matthews spent around five minutes on yesterday’s At 10 program attacking the pro-life movement under the guise of expressing sympathy for the suffering of the mentally ill in Milwaukee.

He attacked pro-life advocates for caring about the unborn, but not taking care of the suffering of the people already here.

He never explained why pro-lifers have more of a responsibility to take care of the mentally ill than people who volunteer at the Humane Society or people like me who give to Special Olympics and Children’s Wish Foundation.

Who the hell is this guy to decide what causes other people take up? Which are worthy and which are worthless?

The simple truth is he disapproves of the pro-life cause, and because of that he thinks they should use their energy to fix the problems he wants fixed.

(Just like liberals always think they should be able to commandeer other people’s time, energy and money in the form of taxes to take care of the causes they deem worthy.)

I’m less angry about what he said (he’s welcome to his opinion), but the vehicle he used to justify.

If you hate pro-lifers, come right out and say it.

Don’t enlist the mentally ill to help you make a mentally deficient argument.

Dave Berkman gets it almost right.

In this week’s Media Musings column in The Shepherd Express, viagra sales cialis Dave Berkman nearly manages to make a good point:

“The story was about an Ohio homeowner incensed that her house had been seized under eminent domain to turn the land on which it stood into a private shopping and condo development. It was, ailment she insisted, physician ‚Äúsocialism??? at its worst.

Yeah, right. Socialists are notorious for their ties to private real estate developers.

Laws allowing home seizures to benefit commercial interests are wrong. But you can be sure that had Socialists been governing her town, no seizures to benefit the private sector would have ever been permitted.”

That’s right. Because her property would already have been seized by the State.

Podcasts proliferate, radio is stationary

The number of Podcasts has now surpassed the number of radio stations worldwide.

(Personally, viagra sales capsule I blame Aaron and Jenna. I actually blame Aaron for a lot of things, but that’s not important right now. ;)

“My gay marriage” could have been titled “My fuzzy thinking”

In her Milwaukee Journal Sentinel opinion piece, discount cialis stuff Amanda Seligman said:

“I gave serious thought to not getting legally married, sick even though I knew that my fianc?© was the person I wanted to grow old with. I did not want to participate in an institution that discriminates on the basis of sexual orientation.”

Seriously?

Did Amanda refuse to have a child because some people are infertile? (Apparently not, viagra because she mentioned a newborn.)

Does she refuse to eat, because people are starving in India?

Does she refuse to leave her home because there are people wrongly imprisoned?

Being committed to a cause is laudable.

Getting so crazy about it that you could actually be committed is not.

This is your chance to talk to Kane (if you’re able).

I can’t quite figure out how Thursday’s Interactive Chat with Eugene Kane is supposed to work, buy viagra cialis so I might not be able to “talk” to Eugene myself.

But I’m hoping Casper of the infamous Kane Watch is already thinking up some Kane-cornering conundrums.

I think they should rename “Church and Chapel” to “Creepy and Creepier”

Yes, discount viagra clinic Milwaukee-area funeral home Church and Chapel has the right to advertise on television.

But they aren’t doing themselves any favors.

Every time I see one of their creepy TV spots featuring a cadaverous Gordon Hinkley, I say to myself, “I wouldn’t be caught dead using that place.”

Unless they do viking funerals. I really want a viking funeral.

(Note to my “friends.” I want it AFTER I’m dead.)
